Description:
First edition. 'Butterflies' was a landmark book not only because it was the first in the New Naturalist Series and because of its photographic plates, but also it was the first book in the literature of Lepidoptera to examine butterflies 'as part of the great panorama of biology'. Miriam Rothschild considered Ford's book to be the best ever written about butterflies.
Bernhard & Loe, NN1A.
